Amma by Saraid de Silva
2.75
reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No

I thought I was going to really like this book and it was good for the first few chapters but I felt like as it ambled on I found myself uninvested in the characters. Even though we chart the lives of the characters in each of the 3 generations I don’t feel like we get much interiority from any of them. I don’t know… I didn’t hate it, but it was lacking. I wanted something with more depth - a deeper bite into their lives. I appreciated the story and how the generations run parallel yet succeed one another but honestly it all just fell a bit flat for me.
